Baringa acknowledges the traditional custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to sky, land, sea and community. We pay our respects to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
Our school is located on Gunaikurnai land.
Enrolling at Baringa School
Baringa provides education to students between five and eighteen years of age.
To be eligible to enrol at Baringa, students must be assessed as having a mild intellectual disability, that is – a full scale IQ score between 50 – 70 and accepted on the Program for Students with Disabilities under the category of ID.
This assessment is conducted by an educational psychologist and is usually arranged through the child’s current school. Students who score over 70 must attend a mainstream school and those with a score below 50 should attend Latrobe Special Development School in Traralgon.
Baringa provides a Transition Program for students wishing to access the school. Information about the Transition Program can be found on the Transition Page.
Prep Enrolment Requirements
It is a requirement from the Department of Education and Training that parents of all prep students provide birth certificates (evidence of date of birth and birth name), AND Immunisation Entry Certificates (history statement after all preschool immunisations are complete) on enrolment.
Immunisation certificates are available from the local council and The Australian Childhood Immunisation Register. A child is deemed to be immunised when she/he has received immunisations against Diphtheria, Tetanus, Poliomyelitis, Measles and Mumps.

Dual ENROLMENT
Baringa provides two options for students attending the school. These include full-time placement at Baringa, or dual enrolment, where the student attends some days at Baringa and some days at their mainstream school.
When dual enrolment is selected, both schools monitor the students’ progress and maintain contact through SSGs (Student Support Group meetings).
